CBD Retail Sales Growth Set to
Explode
April 24, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Microcap Speculators
-- It’s showing up in everything from skin creams to bath balms to
dog treats – an elixir that can supposedly reduce anxiety and help
you sleep.
The ingredient? CBD, or cannabidiol, a compound derived
from hemp and marijuana that doesn’t cause a high.
Mainstream retailers are taking advantage of a sudden boom in
the industry even as CBD’s health benefits remain murky amid a
patchwork of state and local laws. And the flood of products
is only testing how federal regulators can police it.
Retail sales of CBD consumer products in 2018 were estimated to
reach as much as $2 billion, according to Cowen & Co. By 2025,
that figure could hit $16 billion in retail sales, the investment
firm predicts.
One cannabis stock worth researching is Life on Earth, Inc.
(USOTC:
LFER). This company could take
a big piece of that $16 billion. LFER, a beverage company
rolling up successful brands in taste-making hotbeds NYC and
Southern California, announced its flagship Just Chill
brand would be entering the cannabis-infused beverage space.
In a move that could help elevate the brand in the hearts and
minds of consumers, LFER just announced that it has signed Two
Times X Games Gold Medalist, Winner of The Maloof Money
Cup, top contender in multiple Dew Tours, and multiple World
Cups of skateboarding Greg Lutzka, as a brand partner for its
Just Chill brand. He is the only skateboarder, to
date, to have won the highest respected contest in the industry
three times at the Tampa Pro. Start your research on LFER
